SEO Settings
SEO Settings configure the module's search engine optimization, in three panels: Basic Options, Friendly URL and Metas.
Basic Options
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Including the page title in the blog title | Include the blog/module title in the page title (on by default) |
| Redirect URL when article not found | Redirect to a given address when an article does not exist, instead of showing an error page (off by default) |
Friendly URL
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable Friendly URL | Enable friendly article URLs (on by default) |
| Enable ArticleID To URL | Show the article ID in the URL (off by default) |
| Article URL Text | The article ID word in URLs, default ArticleID |
| Enable Category Friendly URL | Enable friendly category URLs (on by default) |
| Category URL Text | The category ID word in URLs, default CategoryID |
| Tag URL Text | Tag page word, default SearchTag |
| Author URL Text | Author page word, default Author |
| Archive URL Text | Archive page word, default Archive |
| Archive Year URL Text | Yearly archive word, default ArchiveYear |
| Calendar URL Text | Calendar page word, default Calendar |
| Search URL Text | Search page word, default Search |
Per-article and per-category settings
Each article can set its own Friendly Url Name and SEO fields — see Add New Post → SEO Settings. Category friendly URL names are filled in under Categories.
Metas
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Open Graph | Output Open Graph protocol tags on article pages for social platform previews (on by default) |
| Page Header Tags | Allow the article's Page Header Tags field to output custom head tags (on by default) |
| Paging Link | Output <link rel="next"> pagination tags on list pages (off by default) |
The following options add a noindex tag to the corresponding list pages, telling search engines not to index them. Category and tag pages get noindex by default; the rest do not:
- Add noindex meta tag to category pages (on by default)
- Add noindex meta tag to tag pages (on by default)
- Add noindex meta tag to calendar pages
- Add noindex meta tag to archive pages
- Add noindex meta tag to archive year pages
- Add noindex meta tag to author pages
noindex advice
Keep noindex on pages that duplicate the article list (categories, tags) to avoid competing with article pages for search weight. Turn it off for a category page you want indexed — after filling in its SEO information.
